A grade school friend turned me onto reading Stephen King years ago and I spent many a summer in junior high reading nothing but King. Today, I have no idea what happened to that collection of books. I must have given them away or sold them.
After gaining numerous points on a book swapping site called Bookmooch.com, and pre-ordering a new King book last November that I wanted to read, I decided to start collecting King books again in hardcover. Thanks to Bookmooch, the collection grew quickly. Then I started visiting a few used bookstores and picking up a few copies.
This page is to track my progress. Its a list of all of King’s books.
All books in bold are the ones I now own. The books in red are the ones I read a long time ago. So, if it is bold/black – I own it but haven’t read it. If it is bold/red – I own it and have read it. Black but not bold, I still need it. Red but not bold, I read it but still need it.
